several hours, he gave up, and began the

May she rest in Peace.
Sister Mamie in repose,
Does of life the journey close;
She has laid life burdens down,
To put on, Glory Crown:
AS Christian she was pure,
As she did life-storms endure;
Guided by Religions say,
She has gone TO Heavens day.
Weep not parents! Nannie's rest,

Your dear one at Jesus feet:
If you meet in other years,
With Disasters sorrow tears:
Efveto Meet in Beulah-land,

If in sorrow we deplore,
Friends who go to Glory's shore;

From disease and sorrow free:
There amid unfading f1ow'rs,
We may dwell in Eden's bow'rs;
Be our help, Thou God of Love,
Till we meet, with Thee, above.

PALACE CARS DESERTED.
One Curious Effect of the Interstate
Commerce Law.

One Curious Effect of the Interstate
Commerce Law.
New York Times
The last charge laid at the door of the
Interstate Commerce Law is that it has
reduced the number of travellers in draw
ing room and sleeping cars. When the
law went into effect" said a Broadway
ticket agent yesterday, 1.-The railroads
had to call in their passes. Many of
these We're held by people who used to
travel a great deal more than was neces-
sary. simply because they had free rides.
As they didn't have to pay railroad fare
they always felt able to indulge in a
chair or a berth. Now that their free
rides are a thing of the past they stay at
home more, and when they do go about
from one city to another they just buy
an ordinary ticket and then slide by the
palace car window as If they had never
seen il before and didn't know what it
was intended for. Cheap railroad fares
have always been a boon to the palace
car companies, and every war has meant
a rush of business, first because more
people travel, and seco.id. because those
who get the reduced rates felt more like
spending something extra for the best
accommodations. I've noticed this fact
every time the roads have fought one
another for years.
This same reasoning has been ex-
pounded in Wall street lately, too. but
there the other side. the friends of the
sleeping and drawing room ear cOmpa-
MES, have always asserted that the abOli-
ton of the passes has not hurt their bus
mess. Travel has been light for the last
two or three weeks. any way. Passes on
the special ears have always been much
rarer than free railroad tickets The eff
feet of the law on travel is being care
fully watched by railroad men, and
some of them say they haven't had
time to make up their minds what it
will be in the end

A few days ago two prospectors. while
wandering over the foothills east of the.
city. accidentally stumbled on signs of
previous habitation buried under heaps
of sand which had been drifted by the
winds of years. Having selected a point
at which to make an excavation they
went to work with will. and in a few
hours had reached the floor of a small
chamber I'm the form of a parallelogram.
They found the remains of several hui
man beings, several handsome vases
carved with geometrical figures in diff
ferent coiOrs, stone axes, hammers, pieces
of cloth apparently manufactured from
the yucca, several strings of beads. SEA
shells, arrow heads and an abundance of
fragments Of obsidian quartz, and an in
credible quantity of pieces of broken
pottery, Including several with blue
glazing. Only i'm one other instance
have we ever heard of this color and
quality of ware having been discovered

Definition and Explanation.
New York Times.


We have no intention, however, to re-
view MIR. HoarS speech. That would be
thrashing over old straw that. when it
was freshly sheaved. never had much
grain upon it, We desire now To simply
call attention to a few words of the Sen
ator upon the question of the tariff. Mr..
Dawes had already said that this was the
chief question of the hour. Mr.. Hoar
Endorsed this estimate of its Importance
and undertook Ia give a definition of the
Republican policy regarding it, Here
il is:
THE Republican Party agrees that a
great surplus in the Treasury is an evil.
Ii takes from the people by taxation
money which should not be taken from
them. and it keeps from circulation
money which the people should be- using.
We propose to do away with this sur
plus, first, by diminishing the taxation
which puts it in the Treasury. and. sec
ond, by expending on necessary public
objects the money which Is already
there. We propose to take off the duty
on every imported article which enters
an American manufacture as material
or as necessary article of competition
cOnsumptiOn?l for American people
which cannot profitably be produced
here. Where an acticle can be prOfita-
bly, produced here and American labor is
supported by it's production, we pro-
pose to keep the duty on.
There is good deal of misleading in
situation in this plausible statement, 1t
implies that the surplus in the Treasury
is there because it is not expended on
necessary public objects" As a matter
of fact, no such objects have been neg
lected. The River and Harbor bill that
was dOcketed, did not embrace necessa-
ry, but unnecessary objects. The De
pendent Pension Bill, which was vetoed,
did not embrace necessary objects. IL
was professedly purely charitable bill,
and was bill in reality To promote pau
perism on one hanj and make pension
agents rich on the other. The Blair Ed
ucational Bounty bill, which was defeat
ed in the House, was of the same nature.
No necessary objects have been neglect
